Oh, I do not disagree that I would luv to see an increase in the limits, although even the kittyman must admit that with the enhanced server availability over the last month or so, it has become less of a concern for now. I am just giving my gut feelings on how they will handle it. And I don't know how many more tweaks will be required until the APR numbers are where the boyz think they should be.

Is there enough bandwidth to support an increase in limits? |

Is there enough bandwidth to support an increase in limits? Not yet, but don't panic. There are rumors of something coming up that might better support what we have now. All I can say. Meow. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

The current APR cap - after two rounds of tweaks - is high enough that only the very fastest GPUs are still being capped. Those hosts are fast enough that they should be able to burn through any pre-tweak tasks in a couple of days after the next (and final) adjustment. Then, it'll be a question for the labs: do they want to go back to the size of database they were running before the caps were put in place? And for the users: do we want to go back to the five or six hour maintenance outages that the bloated database needed for backup and compaction? And, with the newer and more reliable servers, do we need 10-day caches all the time? |

No problems here. I haven't been out of work in months. |

And, with the newer and more reliable servers, do we need 10-day caches all the time? I'd be happy to have a 4 day cache again, which would require the limtis to be about 2.5 times what they are now. Grant Darwin NT |
